CL8800 General Description

CL8800 is designed to drive a long string of inexpensive, low-current LEDs directly from the AC mains. A basic driver circuit consists of CL8800, six resistors, and a bridge rectifier. Two to four additional components are optional for various levels of transient protection. No capacitors, EMI filte.
